If you're feeling worried about how little you have achieved, remember that Bram Stoker didn't write Dracula until he was 50. Dracula didn't kill anyone until he was dead

Here's to the smiles of the lassies we love, Here's to the friends ever faithful, Drink to the hearts so loving and true And never may we be ungrateful.

Totally an aside, just celebrated an anniversary, it amazes me. It CAN'T have been that long :) Retirement is soon & we are planning to settle ourselves abroad. Still travelling about to find our sweet spot and will still be fighting to see things get better in the US of A for our family.
We've been married for 41 years
